--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv Version: 1:1.0.1.5-2 Severity: serious The nv driver appears to be heavily obfuscated and is effectively unmodifiable. Rather than symbolic constants, almost every reference to hardware is performed using undocumented hex. The only registers that appear to be documented are the legacy CRTC ones which are effectively identical over all hardware. Take for example NVBacklightEnable: if((pNv->Chipset == 0x10DE0179) || (pNv->Chipset == 0x10DE0189) || (pNv->Chipset == 0x10DE0329)) { /* NV17,18,34 Apple iMac, iBook, PowerBook */ CARD32 tmp_pmc, tmp_pcrt; tmp_pmc = pNv->PMC[0x10F0/4] & 0x7FFFFFFF; tmp_pcrt = pNv->PCRTC0[0x081C/4] & 0xFFFFFFFC; if(on) { tmp_pmc |= (1 << 31); tmp_pcrt |= 0x1; } pNv->PMC[0x10F0/4] = tmp_pmc; pNv->PCRTC0[0x081C/4] = tmp_pcrt; } The idea that nvidia do not posess an electronic list of register names and offsets is entirely implausible. The only rational explanation is that register information is postprocessed out in order to reduce information leakage. The shipped code is certainly not the preferred form for modification, and according to prevailing attitudes on debian-legal should be removed from Debian. -- Matthew Garrett | [email protected]
